    The last two generations of consoles were just PCs but worse. Now nearly all games are coming to PC anyway, what’s even the point? Just to pay them $70/year for the privilege of playing multiplayer?

      I’m assuming they’re requiring a PSN account for PC ports so they can eventually put a subscription on having a PSN account.

          But sony are different, they won’t end up returning to steam like the others have!

          Perhaps they are bolstered by that fact epic have done ok. But do they have enough free games to pull off the same plan?

      Now to be fair, the Switch was a fancy cellphone, but worse

        The Tegra in it was fairly old at that point IIRC.
